Linux users I need help...

[-*DbD*-Johni]

I could do with help keeping my sound continually running without re-entering scripts thru the console for ET
such as

sudo killall esd
sudo -i
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
exit
et

This works but I get annoyed to run it every other time..
I've use

in the $PATH

chmod a+x start-et
sudo cp start-et /usr/local/games

Works if I reboot, but if I browse the net it won't work next launch...

By the way I use Lucid Lynx - Ubuntu, without tremendous knowledge of Terminal commands....

I also could do with a minimizer script to download and use..

Sorry it's taken so long to reply to this post Johni but I was trying to remember what I did with all my notes for linux when I was running it.
I found it at last and this is what I did to get sound working and stay working in Linux.

sudo gedit /etc/esound/esd.conf

edit so it looks like this

[esd]
auto_spawn=1
spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -d default
spawn_wait_ms=100
# default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode
default_options=

You can also try adding this line to local.start
chmod 777 /dev/dsp

If that doesn't work try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9308
If none of this works let us know and I'll do a bit more research for you.

Oh I almost forgot there is such a thing to minimize ET in linux it's called ETswitch and you can get it from here: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilitie ... 4172.shtml
